Twice Upon A Time - Season 3 (reader x once upon a time)

Think Lovely Thoughts - Part 1

Night 7 – Neverland

Regina and Gold were walking through the jungle, Gold holding Pandora's box in his hand

"You know, despite our differences, I can always count on you to get things done" Regina told him "Unlike the rest of them. You were right, they're just a liability"

"Where are they?" Gold asked, genuinely curious

"Oh, well, Pan told them Neal was alive, and, of course, Emma took the bait. Such a waste of time" she said without thinking "Oh, I'm so sorry" she apologized when she realized who she was talking with

"No, no, don't be. He is alive" Gold simply told her

"What?" Regina asked

"Pan wasn't lying. My son is here on the island. I've seen him" Gold replied

"You saw him and you... you just parted ways?" she said in disbelief "You realize that he might have a way off the island" she said

"Let's worry about the travel plans after we get Henry" was all Gold said

"There's something you're not telling me" Regina figured "What happened when you saw him?"

"Look, all you have to know is, the next time I see him will be when I'm putting Henry in his arms" Gold replied "When father and son are reunited"

As the group walked towards Pan's camp, David decided to make sure their journey was safe

"I'm going to ask Tink how close we are to Pan's compound" He told Snow "I don't want to be surprised by any Lost Boys on patrol"

"Good idea" she replied

As soon as he left, Emma and Angie rushed to her

"Looks like you two buried the hatchet" Angie told her mother

"Buried? Uh, I don't know. We've at least put it away for now" Snow replied

"So you're really going to stay here with him?" Emma asked

"The thought of leaving you girls, it kills me" Snow said "But there's nothing we can do. If David leaves the island he'll die"

"So you're just giving up? Family means being together, all of us" Emma said

"But, there's no other way" Snow repeated

"Well I don't believe that. There's always a way" Angie said

Before Snow could reply, the group heard noises coming from behind the foliage. Everyone got their weapons ready only to put them down when they saw Regina and Gold appear

"Well, if this is your version of a rescue party, we got here just in time" Regina said

"What are you two doing here?" Snow asked them

"The same as you" Regina replied "Except, we actually have a chance: Pandora's Box. It can trap Pan for eternity simply by opening the lid" she told them

"You didn't tell me my father was with her" Neal said to Emma, keeping his eyes on his father

"I didn't know" Emma replied

"Wait, your father is the Dark One?" Tinker Bell asked him

"Yeah, and he's not getting anywhere near Henry" Neal said loudly

"Bae" Gold said softly

"Why? What are you talking about?" Angie asked

"There's a prophecy that says that Henry will be his undoing. He didn't come here to protect him; he came her to kill him" Neal exposed his father, shocking everyone with this information
